BACKGROUND:Hyper Goombas are hyperactive Goombas, hence the name. They seem to like scary places and can be found living with Boos in Gusty Gulch. They are also found on the Twighlight Trail.
No one knows how they came to be, but it is theorized that they may be relatives to the Gu Goombas, but since these particular Goombas were just the hypnotized goons of Exor. Another thought is that they may Gloombas (a subterranean type of Goomba) that came to the surface and gained strength. They are definitely some of the toughest mushrooms out there.
